VertueLab merges innovation, technology, entrepreneurship, and impact investing to address and solve global environmental challenges. We are a conduit between promising cleantech companies and the donors and investors who empower their progress through support and access to capital. We are innovating alongside our portfolio companies by developing new impact investing models to fuel their growth and the tools to measure the environmental and social impact that their success brings. We are a 10-year-old 501(c)3 nonprofit that has been a pioneer in program-related investing in early stage clean technologies and has developed a national reputation for our work supporting environmental technology startups and connecting them to investment and other resources. We are hiring our first dedicated fundraising staff member.

Our new strategy calls for us to secure donations, grants, and impact investments from individuals, family offices, and foundations to both support our programs and to capitalize an investment fund.

Responsibilities:

Develop and execute a comprehensive fundraising plan, aligned with the organization’s strategic plan, with defined goals and timelines.

Lead the execution of VertueLab’s fundraising activities, including being the lead point of contact with potential funders. Coordinate the engagement of the Executive Director, Board of Directors, program directors, and other VertueLab staff in support of fundraising goals.

Contribute content toward the development of electronic and print materials that support VertueLab’s fundraising goals

Work closely with the Executive Director and Program Directors to align VertueLab program value propositions with targeted fundraising asks.

Given our focus on tapping into both philanthropic and financial services networks, we anticipate that successful candidates should have a nonprofit fundraising background, particularly in major gifts/donors, with a strong interest in connecting environmental sustainability to private sector business scalability.
